The kinetics and mechanism of formation of gehlenite, Al–Si spinel phase, wollastonite and
anorthite from the mixture of kaolinite and calcite was investigated by differential thermal …

The phase and pore evolution of porcelain tiling against sintering temperature are
investigated in this study. A standard porcelain tile composition was sintered at nine different …

We report the phase formation mechanism and the enhanced thermoelectric properties of
zinc antimonide (ZnSb) thermoelectric material. The phase pure ZnSb thermoelectric …

A mixture of kaolin (92 wt.% of kaolinite) and laboratory-grade CaCO 3 was used for
anorthite preparation using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The powder was …
